In the XXIII century, champagne was the only wine that ladies could drink together with men; this is the reason why Queen Victoria used the sticks to mix the unpleasant champagne bubbles while the ladies of the court used it to eliminate gas from the bubbles considering that a glass of champane or of a sparkling wine can cause, even today, a higher and faster level of inebriation than a glass of wine. Nowadays, the swizzle stick has been used both to decrease the carbonation in champagne and to mix soft drinks and cocktails.
